2319! We have a 2319!

(2319 reference is in the movie Monster's Inc...mom had to ask the kids that one!)

Hey everyone!

Believe it or not, I've been waiting to use that
title. Hahaha. This week...Well...it was different. I started out the week in
Missoula on exchanges with Sister Bell. She's amazing. And guess what. I
FINALLY GOT TO PLAY VOLLEYBALL. Tears were almost shed. Even though it's been
three months, I'm pretty confident I could still school all of you ;) Sister
Bell and I did a lot of biking and a lot of teaching the plan of salvation. It
was great :)

Then I came back to St. Ignatius to find my
companion half dead. Poor Sister Wright was NOT feeling well. This week we
spent more time at the doctor, and more time resting and trying to get feeling
better. It's hard to feel like a missionary when you're home all day...but I'm
trying to soak in all of the study time. We got to watch the Woman's Broadcast
with Sister Krantz. SO GOOD. President Uchtdorf was speaking right to me.
I loved this part of his talk:

“There is enough that doesn’t go right in life, so anyone can
work themselves into a puddle of pessimism and a mess of melancholy. But I know
people who, even when things don’t work out, focus on the wonders and miracles
of life … God didn’t design us to be sad. He created us to have joy!
So if we trust Him, He will help us to notice the good, bright, hopeful things
of life. And sure enough, the world will become brighter. No, it doesn’t happen
instantly, but honestly, how many good things do?"

I am sure more than ever that we have a
living prophet and apostles on the earth today. This weekend is going to be the
best weekend EVER. :) I have many answers that I am searching for and I am
confident that they will be answered this weekend. Yours can too!

We had a miracle at church yesterday!!! A member
brought her friend to church a few weeks
back, and she came again yesterday! She has been reading the Book of
Mormon...she loves it...annnnnnd.....she wants to take the
lessons,.....annnnnnnnd SHE WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED. :D There was much rejoicing in
the land of St. Iggy. So that will be coming up at the end of the month. :)
Keep Robin in your prayers! :)

Be happy. :) Invite a friend to watch conference
with you! Eat yummy food. Talk to strangers. All that cool jazz.
